In the end it was a decent performance and good enough to get the win, but we were far from our best today.
We scored with out first attack of the game, great play by Cole and finish form Dennis, but then we sat back and invited Wolves onto us. They pressured us all over the pitch and won the battle in midfield, and we stuggled to cope with the high ball to Cort. In the first half i think it was the worst defensive display of the season, it was just a good job they are crap. We were second best for the last 20 minutes.
Second half though they ran out of energy and Pat stamped his authority on the game. We scored two quick goals, a nice finish by Henry and Kolo headed into an empty net after great play by Vieira. When we scored the third it was game over and out came the flicks and one twos. Played in second gear for most of the haf.
Reyes came on and looked lively. Didnt really do anything of real note but you can just tell he is just waiting to explode every time he gets the ball. Look out Southampton.
Gilberto played right mid and i dont think he will play there again. He had a very poor game, and looked very short of pace.
Henry was world class yet again, simply the best player in the world.
All in all and decent display in a very tricky atmosphere.
